My mom always had cats!!! I'll ask her...uh...as soon as I see her :/ At some point...I'll try to be ASAP.

What kind are you getting?! I love the siberian and the norwegian Forest Cats...But I love all kinds really. Huge sucker for kitties!

Till then...here!

It's a kitten and I'm not sure what breed she is. :D I'm trying to find out though. She's a stray.
She's less than a month old. We're planning on buying her a baby bottle or a syringe to feed her water and milk cause we're not sure if she can on her own yet but she eats well. We gave her some tuna and she ate it all. 
I want to take pictures, my mom's friend already did but the kitten seemed a bit scared so going to wait a while.
She seems attached to me though! She tries to climb onto my lap.. maybe it's because I smell like tuna..

That makes me feel better, Pica! :D I guess my top priority must be to get her vaccinated (which I don't think she is).

I like enclosed litter boxes, it helps with the cat not getting litter everywhere, also put a mat in front of the entrance of it.  My cat wipes his paws on it and it catches litter that sticks on his paws when he gets out.

I leave dry food out all the time in a feeder, works for my cat because he's good about only eating when hungry, plus it saves you from the half-empty bowl whine cats are found of..  Nothing better than being woken up at 4 am to a cat howling in your face cause the food bowls not full!  You would have to watch your cat though if you leave food out all the time, don't won't her putting on too much weight.

Careful with treats, too many makes them puke :/.  Oh and cats get hair balls, so don't freak out when you see her do it, it's pretty nasty....

Get her used to her collar with the tags, I don't always leave it on mine and he plays with it when he has it on to make it jingle.. Gets soo annoying!

If ya don't get her declawed buy a scratching post!  And if she starts to scratch furniture ya have to be on it, get a squirt bottle and squirt her with it, lol.  My friend had to put vinegar with water in her squirt bottle, because her cat didn't mind getting squirt.. hated the smell of vinegar tho.

We got one of those scratching posts that had cat nip in it, he didn't really use it to scratch but would rub his nose and face all over it, sit and sleep on it, until finally figuring out how to get it open and just rolled all in the cat nip until he was well, high as a kite :P

Get a brush, it helps from the shedding hair everywhere.  And a lint roller when it gets on your clothes.

The only toy my cat plays with is this:


And trash.. Bunched up balls of paper.  Different cats like different toys, but I've known several to like that one as well.

Try a cat bed, mine doesn't use it, prefers my vanity stool or the other pillow on my bed.

He doesn't use the cat tree either, but he's lazy.  Lot of cats like them though, like to climb and sit in high spots.

I never get any privacy in tha bathroom anymore.  My cat will stick his paw under the door and meow until I open the door, so I leave it open.  For whatever reason he turns into a lap cat when im sitting on the toilet, ugh, lol!  And he sits at the side of the tub when I take a bath, awkward!  Plus likes to help when I'm putting on makeup by knocking off anything that's sitting on the countertop..

Good luck with you new kitten!  :)

I was wondering if it was OK to give her cows milk? Or is there special milk for them?

She isn't vaccinated, Pica. :/ And I was really worried when she sneezed a few time after drinking water, which when I checked had become cold and terrified when she wouldn't stop shivering after I gave her a little wash. The water was warm though. It's pretty cold here these days. I wrapped her up in a blanket and dried her as quick as I could after that.

She did the number 1 a few times. She apparently loves the couch but she can't get on it cause she so small so she settles for near it.  Hopefully she won't do the number 2 anytime soon cause I won't have fun cleaning after she goes on her little adventure.  I'm still trying to litter train her.

The awesome thing about her is that she stays in the little home I made for her (A box which I lined with a few blankets) and only comes out of it when there are people near it or if she's hungry or if she needs to do her business. I practically need to drag her out otherwise. And she lets us know if she's hungry by making noises.

I'm worried that if I leave food out, ants will come and invade it.

I need to get a squirt bottle and find a scratching post soon, Cocobelle! She already started scratching the furniture and her nails are incredibly sharp.

I gave her a few toys but she seems only interested in them for a short while and moves on. We have a basket that she seems quite fond of. She climbs in and out of which is sorta funny cause she's a bit too short for it. And anything that is circular - she needs to be in. I caught her trying to get into the bin.

I've had a few goldy's before, Emo, but they died.. or were eaten cause we put other types of fish into the same tank too.. not a good decision. And I've also had a hamster! But my mom was too scared so we had to give it back to the pet shop. My mom's afraid to the kitten as well!

Rats?! No thanks!

I figured #4 out! I brought her downstairs away from her cuddly home and she ran for the curtains. Took me a bit to get her out. :D

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here she is, fabulous, with sharp claws and soft fur and innocent looks.. I haven't named her yet.. Any suggestions?

Awe!!  I've always liked the name Freya for a kitty :)

I agree with rheasilvia, if ya don't want her having kittens get her fixed.  Females go into heat, and it's really annoying..  They cry and moan, roll around and stick their butt in your face when you scratch her back..

I don't give mine baths either, he hates it and I end up looking like I got in a knife fight by the time it's done..  If she's kept indoors and you keep the litter clean, she should be able to keep herself clean.  If your going to let her outside or have another pet that goes out, ya might ask the vet about flea prevention.  I think they have to be a certain age, you would just have to ask.

Now she scratches furniture only when she's mad at me. I said that she's a meanie :P

Lol!  This is so true of cats.  My friends cat poops on her bed when she's mad at her!

Naming a cat is such a hard thing to do! If I were you I would probably call her Spotsie because she has those cute ginger spots on her back. But I also like Cocobelle's idea, Freya sounds lovely! My cousin's cat is called Alergia (Allergy) and I find it quite witty considering that the mother of the cousin has fur allergy.

And my friend's cat pees in her shoes when she leaves him alone for too long. Oh, cats...

Squeeee she looks sho fluffy and adorable!!!
Idk name her something either silly, cute, or deep.
Like idk Pancake! :D I like that actually haha.

- My mum got a live mouse in her boot from our old cats (before I was born).
- Regarding colours... don't put it on too tight or too lose. Our cats always managed to get it off or get is through one leg, which can hurt them.
- Micro-chip her when she is old enough. Easier than a collar.
- I've never EVER washed my cat, they wash themselves. If I have attempted to, I have used a damp cloth because she had something gross in her fur.
- Cats are very very different to dogs, they like awkward.

Got a name yet?

Yup, Pica! We named her Jam. :D

I LOVE IT! (THUMBS UP)

Here's some I took today.
I'm keeping her in my room now and I have to keep her there when my mom is in the living room working. She doesn't appreciate Jam coming around and hanging around her feet. :P


I caught her playing with the curtains.


She sat like this for a few seconds when she found out I knew.


The look she gives me when I won't help her get up on the bed.

She just stares at me like this forever until I cave it.

I find this one hilarious! :D


And for some reason she's started to roll on the floor. O.o

Ugh <3 It's adorable! And her paws are so soft!! She steps on feet a lot and omg<3 the feeling! I heard that's how they mark their human.
